The Wing says that the Riddle.
berger bill was originally a Repub-
lican measure that the Democrats
at Lynchburg, in 1888 adopted it
in selfdefence /; and thatnine.tenths
of the voters are committed to It.
But it fails to tell its readers that
the Democrats in the Legislature
of 1884 so mutilated the measure
as to destroy its essential defences,
sap it's vitality and consequently
made it imperative. Had they, IN
the recent extra session, followed
Gen. Wickham's advice and repeal.
ed all their obstructive legislation,
and left the Riddleberger bill as
they found 1t, there might be some
merit in the pretense of adherence
to it now. But this they would
not do, and as the case now stands,
the Riddleberger bill, as originally
enacted, is practically dead. The
Democrats have shown at all times
remarkable stupidity and ignorance
in reference to the debt, and dem
onstrated their incapacity or indis-
position to deal with it honestly.
The only way to reEedy the matter,
is to vote them out Of power, and
then the Republicans will show
them how to settle the debt finally

BOYCOTTIHe AN OFFICER.
A KENTUCKY MARSHALL WITHOUT
HABITATION OR FOOD.

LOUISVILLE, July 22.-United
States Marshal Gross, with a force
Of thirty armed deputies, is trying
to collect $4,000 due on certain
railroad bonds issued by Taylor
county to build paper railroad
about twenty years ago. The total
amount of bonds issued is about
800, 900, and as the road was new
er constructed the citizens have de-
clined to pay either principal or in
terest. Suit was brought against
the county by parties holding $751;
900 worth of the bonds, and the de-
cree of the United States court ap-
pointed Marshal Gross the col
lector.
The citizens remained obdurate,
and refusing to compromise, the
marshal took down his men to col
lect the debt by Ieyying. He is

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT on THE ERIE
RAILROAD.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT ON THE ERIE
RAILROAD.
NEW YORK, July 21.-A fright.
full railroad accident occurred this
morning on the Erie railroad, be.
tween Allendale and Hohokus. A
gang of Italian iaborers we're at
work ballasting on the railroad a
little distance from a sharp curve
in the road, about three.quarters
of a mile above Hohokus.
The Chicago express. which was
due an hour before, had not ar.
rived, and these men were busy at
work, unconscious of the terrible
fate which was IN store for them.
At quarter past Z o'clock the cx-
press dashed round the curve, be.
fore the men had the slightest
warning, and struck the gang, kill.
ing eleven on the spot and wound.
ing five more.
The shrieks Of the victims we're
heartrending, and when the train
slowed the track presented a sick
ening sight, being covered with
maDgled bodies, the rails being
spattered with blood and strewn
with broken bones and pieces Of
ragged flesh.
Some of the bodies we're mangled
beyond description and crushed
out of semblance of humanity. To
most of the victims death must
have been instantaneous, but some
of them seemed to be in the last
throes of dissolution when the train
was brought to stand.still. The
train waited about fifteen minutes,
and then proceeded on its way.
The engineer OF the express, in a
statement made when he reached
Jersey City, said that before he
reached the curve he blew warn.
ing whistle, not knowing, however,
that any people were on the track.
The moment his train had turned
the curve he saw the Italians hud.
died like a flock of sheep on the
very track his train was on. They
got over there to avoid a train com.
ing from New York, and had their
backs turned to the express. He
tried hard to stop his train, but no
human power could have done so in
time to avoid killing the men,
The engine, he said, moved them
as a scythe cuts grass, and their
mangled bodies were thrown in all
directions. The conductor did not
know what had happened until the
train slowed up.

and he promptly made good the
deficiency. The sum is so small
that the Democrats can make nc
political capitol out of the count.
The late Republican Chief Clerk
of the Patent Office having resign,

Bacon matter and explain the

published statements have been

tents of the safe, but did not exam.
inc the books. The apparent dis.
crepancy of 81 100000, and cover.
ing $4,000 pages, are carefully re.
viewed. The clerk further says
"that the practice of making adj
vances to employees of the office
had existed daring Bacon's entire
term, and it was with the knOwl-
edge of his superiOrs." Secretary
Lamar and Commissioner Hall have
persistently refused to permit tho
publication of list Of the employ
ees to whom advances were made,
because the custom had been con.
tinued under Democratic Admins
tratiOn, and Democrats of prOmi-
nence were often the beneGciaries.
The heads of the several Depart
ments and the local telephone com
pany are having their same old dis
pute over the excessive rates exact
ed for that service in the city, and
so far, the former decline TO submit
to the campany's new scheme Of
equalization, which, as a matter of
course, involves an increase of
charges. The Postmaster General,
under whose direction the contract
for all Government telephoning IS
made throughout the whole country,
is authority for the announcement
that the entire expense annually
on that account is not in excess of
the sum now paid by the United
States for telepboning IN the Dis
trict of Columbia alone.

verdict being "not proven" after
the old Scotch fashion. This was
unsatisfactory to the defendant
though considering himself partial.

case. Pending this action, the peo-
pie of historic Manassas, where Mr..
Todd lives and breaches, hold an
Indignation meeting, produce some
damaging aflidavits, which they al.
lege had been suppressed by the
clerical court, and adopt resolutions
denounclng Mr.. Todd as a moral
leper and advising him to leave for
the good of the community az well
as for his own. The fallen minister
is aggressive and determined, the
outcome of the affair will be watch
ed with great and general interest.
There are those who say that the
treatment of Mr.. Todd is an out
burst of sectional feeling, as he is a
Northern man and has Southern
congregation.

The maxim Of "whom the gods
would destroy they first make
mad was never better illustrated
than in the tory endeavor to further
prosecute and tyrranize over the
Irish people. After they had
passed their Coercion bill and felt
that everything was going one
way, two prominent tory leaders,
Churchill and Chamberlain relent-
ed and called halt on the land
and other supplemental bills neces-
sary to the full execution Of tory
plans. Never was the cause OF
Ireland and home rule more promls-
ing since she became province OF
Great Britain.
Perseverance is sure to accom-
plish the work. Irish.Americans
should see now how much good
they can accomplish by lending a
helping hand and keeping up
agitation.

RANDALL AND CARLISLE,

For some time past there have
been negotiations between the Car.
Isle and the Randall wings of the
Democratic majority IN the House,
to see if any compromise could be
reached as to the reduction of the
revenue. No authentic reports OF
the results were furnished but a
number Of letters solicited and pub
lished by the Republican newspa-
per, of st. Louis, lets in daylight
on the situation. It is evident that
the negotiations have accomplished
nothing. Mr.. Randall and his
friends stand by their proposal to
abolish the Internal Revenue taxes.
He is ready for "judicious revis-
ion" of the tariff also, but not in
the interests of Free Trade. He
declares he has no hostility to the
industries of his country, even if
they are prospecting and making
money at present. lie wishes to
see American labor supply Ameri.
can wants.
The Carlisle faction have taken
up as a last resort, the proposal
that the Democratic caucus. c.
themselves, shall be employed as
the arbitrator between the two fac
tons. To this proposal Mr.. Ran
dali makes no reference, but sew
eTal of his supporters reject it with
appropriate emphasis. The day
Mr.. Randall agrees to carry this
subject into the Democratic caucus,
he will abandon all he processes to
care for. The caucus is all that
Mr.. Carlisle and his friends want.
1t would be their creature and in
strument at every point. And this
he knows as well as anyone. A
free conference with the majority,
in which each faction shall have an
equal vote, IS the farthest he can
90 in that direction. But that is
last what the Free Traders do not
propose: their song Is, "Will you
walk into my parlor ?"

THE TREATY.

News by the Alameda regarding the
Treaty is not quite as satisfactory as we
could have wished. The President was
emphatic in his message to Congress re-
garding the necessity for continuing the
treaty of reciprocity with this Kingdom
for another period of seven years, but
the Senate has taken a different view
OF the matter, as the following dispatch
will show:
WAsHINGToN, January 12th.-The Senate
decided on Monday that it would take no
action on the Hawaiian Reciprocity
Treaty. According to the treaty now in
existence, it continues until either con
tracing party gives notice that it wishes it
terminated, and twelve months after such
notice the treaty ceases to operate. The
Senate refuses by its action to extend the
treaty, and holds in its power the right to
give notice to terminate it whenever tina
action would probably meet with the APP
proval of the President The treaty will
continue in force while Cleveland remains
in Office and maintains his present views
on the subject, or until the members of
Senate who are opposed to il constitute
two-thirds of the body. In the latter case
it might be passed over a veto.
Comment upon this would be value
less. This country occupies a passive
attitude. 1t cannot command, nor can
it with dignity further solicit a continu-
ance OF the Treaty. Everything possible
in that direction has been already done,
and the final issue rests with the United
States Senate The San Francisco
Chronicle" takes credit to itself for
this action by the Senate, and it may
have had some influence no doubt; but
we are inclined to think that the motive
is one that looks to a revision of the
tariff and the probable building up of the
beet sugar industry as an American en-
terprise. This would account for the
waiting policy of the Senate We do not
imagine for moment that the apparent
advantage Hawaiian planters derive
from the operations OF the Treaty infu-
enced the Senate. Ii ii had done so, it
would have adopted a resolution request
ing the President to give notice of the
termination of the Treaty. Having
failed to do this, we must conclude that
the intention is to let matters drift until
the country has agreed upon policy of
tariff reform combined with protection to
American ministries

change soon after the schooner struck that
the Captain and crew had left her and
were headed for the city. Watches at the
various wharves were instructed TO keep
sharp lookout for the boat and render all
DosSible assistance to the sailors. The
failure of the GOAT to put in an appearance
at either Meigg's wharf or Harbor view
has given rise to the gravest fears for the
safety of the men. The tide and WIND were
both favorable and it was expected that
the men would have reached the city by 1
O'Clock this morning. The marine report

little craft was shattered by the explosion
she will make a safe landing.
